Max Miller, the "Cheeky Chappie" of Britain's music hall, liked to say that the great thing about comedy was that it was the only job where if you're really bad at it nobody laughs at you. The dead hand of the demographically exhausted German state is taking it to a whole other level: The German government has approved a criminal inquiry into a comic who mocked the Turkish president, Chancellor Angela Merkel announced. By law, the government must approve any use of an article of the criminal code on insulting foreign leaders. Mrs Merkel stressed that the courts would have the final word. You can take the girl out of East Germany, but you can't take the East Germany ...

Let Me Ask America a Question How has the ‘system’ been working out for you and your family? No wonder voters demand change By DONALD J. TRUMP April 14, 2016 7:18 p.m. ET On Saturday, April 9, Colorado had an “election” without voters. Delegates were chosen on behalf of a presidential nominee, yet the people of Colorado were not able to cast their ballots to say which nominee they preferred. A planned vote had been canceled. And one million Republicans in Colorado were sidelined. In recent days, something all too predictable has happened: Politicians furiously defended the system. “These are the rules,” we were told over and over again. If the ...

After Rapper Says Palin Should Be Gang-Raped by Black Men, Here’s Sarah EPIC Response

by Jason DeWitt In a series of tweets that have since been deleted, Rapper Azealia Banks called for the brutal gang-rape by Black men of former Alaska governor Sarah Palin. It was all supposedly a response to an article that quoted Palin as saying “African Americans accepted slavery willingly.” The problem is that the article in question was’t even real…it was satire from a fake news site. So, Sarah Palin took to Facebook to dish out an epic response:Here are Palin’s comments in full:Hey Female Rapper – listen up, little darling. No one has any idea what you’re wigging out about in these bizarre, violent rants against me, but you’re ...
The Top 5 Industries Lobbying Against Cannabis Legalization

With mounting evidence supporting its health and wellness benefits and resounding evidence of the drug war's failure, it’s a wonder that anyone still opposes cannabis legalization. Despite the tremendous momentum in favor of legalization last year, it turns out prohibition still has deep support with even deeper pockets. There are five major groups lobbying to keep cannabis illegal. Of those, three are within the law enforcement industry, and the other two have competing mind-altering products. Police and Prisons (Unsurprisingly) Support Prohibition Police unions, private prisons, and prison guard unions have all lobbied to maintain prohibition. In 2010, a police union ...
Media Silent as Thousands March on Washington DC, 400 Arrested

(ANTIMEDIA) Washington, D.C. — Over 400 people were arrested on Monday as they participated in Democracy Spring at the Capitol Building in Washington, D.C. — but, unsurprisingly, corporate mainstream media completely missed the mark, devoting a mere 30 seconds of inaccurate coverage to the event. Democracy Spring describes itself as a movement to “take back our democracy” by employing “mass nonviolent action,” such as a week of sit-ins, on an “historic” scale. While Monday’s mass arrest of no less than 400 people — including journalists — certainly were historic, cable news outlets’ coverage essentially ignored what was happening. ...
A State-By-State Roadmap For The Rest Of The Republican Primary

[...] Although our panel’s original estimates had Trump finishing with 1,175 pledged delegates, my revised deterministic projections have him at 1,155, and the probabilistic version has him at 1,159. I wouldn’t make a huge deal of the differences given the considerable uncertainty in the race, however. Basically, flipping Indiana from a probable win to a probable loss outweighs the gains I have Trump making relative to our original projections in New York and Connecticut. In other states, the differences from the original projections are minor. At the same time, the path-to-1,237 scenario doesn’t look all that far- fetched — certainly not as compared with, say, Bernie ...
Medical Marijuana Providers Score Major Victory in Federal Court [Full Thread]

The federal war on legal medical marijuana providers is paused for now, thanks to a major legal victory in California. Lynnette Shaw, who is one of California’s oldest dispensary operators prevailed Wednesday in her bid to overturn a nineteen year-old civil injunction barring her from the cannabis trade for life. Shaw won using the argument that Congressional law now forbids the Department of Justice from spending a single cent interfering with state-legal medical cannabis businesses. In October, a District Judge sided with Shaw and called the government’s argument "tortured." The Department of Justice moved to appeal to the decision in March. But the DOJ ...

Bear Branch Elementary School/Google Street View MAGNOLIA, Tex. (INTELLIHUB) — A stay at home churchgoing mother by the name of Heather Burke told the School Board Tuesday night that she’s fed up with the Magnolia Independent School District’s Orwellian antics after being threatened to be arrested by a local constable for merely walking her kids home from school one afternoon. Burke, a mother of four, said that her “world was turned upside-down” when she was visited at her residence by a constable who was enforcing “rules,” orders, given by a Bear Branch Elementary superintendent. The constable threatened Burke with arrest and said that if she did not ...
The Military-Evangelical Complex

There are evangelical Christians whom I love and respect. Nonetheless, it’s time to face this: The military-evangelical complex is not just politically dangerous; it’s a corruption of the Judeo-Christian tradition and thus of Western Civilization itself. Definition Let’s start by defining this clearly: The military-evangelical complex is an intricate partnership between the US government and thousands of churches, typically evangelical. These churches support and glorify government-authorized violence. Their messages to their members are clear: To enforce laws is noble and righteous; to bleed on a foreign battlefield is godly; the US military is a great force of goodness ...

By Joseph Jankowski The White House may finally be folding under pressure to reveal 28 secret pages of a report on the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. Senator Bob Graham told the Tampa Bay Times on Tuesday that he received a call from the White House informing him that the declassification review of the documents withheld from a report issued by a Joint Congressional Commission in 2003 will soon be completed. Graham, who has been calling for the declassification of the secret pages since 2011, says that the release may occur within “one or two months.” The Senator believes recent news reports on the secrecy surrounding the 28 pages, including a report Sunday on 60 ...

No day was more important in Little Toxey's world than April 2. He could declare himself a big kid, moving into the big, double-digit age of 10. Twenty-one of his fourth grade classmates would witness the celebration over a bonfire of grilled hot dogs, smoked sausages, and of course, cake and ice cream. Angela Andrews wanted the big day for her boy to be special. She spent about 30 minutes putting the invitations together, and she was sure Toxey’s classmates would show up. She has met some of their parents before. Toxey has been attending the same school for three years and he even plays on the basketball team. But trouble would show up early when Andrews received confirmations ...

Washington (CNN)A number of high-profile Republicans, fearful of a potential melee in Cleveland this summer, are considering skipping the Republican National Convention and campaigning back home instead. With the presidential campaign hitting a fever pitch and Donald Trump warning about riots if he's denied the nomination, some House and Senate Republicans tell CNN that it makes more sense to spend time with voters back home rather than be associated with the drama engulfing their party. But even some leading party stalwarts are planning to skip the convention. Asked Tuesday if he'd attend the convention, former Florida Gov. Jeb Bush told CNN: "No." "Unlikely," ...

Larry Wayne Lindsey showed up at the Colorado State Republican Assembly on Saturday looking to vote for Donald Trump. Only problem? He wasn’t listed as a delegate. He posted videos to social media about how he believed he was a victim of an elaborate conspiracy to disenfranchise Trump voters. Though no substantiating evidence was provided and without talking to members of the Colorado Republican Party, Drudge Report picked up his story. It went viral. Trump personally called him and tweeted out his belief that the Colorado election was unfair. On his Facebook page, Lindsey says he’s arranged interviews with NBC, MSNBC, FOX News, and a bevy of other media outlets. I debunked the ...

Victims of Illegal Alien Crime on ‘Sham’ Colorado Cruz Win: This Is ‘Third World Tyranny’ by Julia Hahn11 Apr 2016 Washington D.C. The American victims who have lost their children to illegal alien crime denounced Sen. Ted Cruz’s “voterless victory” in Colorado. The victims who endorsed Donald Trump said that they were appalled by the state GOP’s attempt to “silence” the American people. “The arrangement in Colorado is a sham. I can’t really call it an election. Ted Cruz is not for Americans,” said Cruz constituent Laura Wilkerson. “He is as bought and paid for as Hillary Clinton.” “This needs to be a wake ...

Former Colorado state Republican party chairman Ryan Call talked to Laura Ingraham today to explain the delegation-selection process works and how it "cuts out any semblance of democracy or the popular will." Call said the statewide convention that chooses the delegates reinforces all the worst stereotypes of the party. "The very time we should be opening up our doors and being more open and transparent, and welcoming people into our Party, we’ve essentially made the decision to close it off and make it more cumbersome and more difficult. And, to prevent the ability of people to have their voice heard in this process. You’re reinforcing all of the very worst ...

- WND - www.wnd.com - GOP elites' delusional plan for Cleveland Posted By Patrick J. Buchanan On 04/07/2016 @ 6:52 pm After winning only six delegates in Wisconsin, and with Ted Cruz poaching delegates in states he has won, like Louisiana, Donald Trump either wins on the first ballot at Cleveland, or Trump does not win. Yet, as that huge, roaring reception he received in his first post-Wisconsin appearance in Bethpage, New York, testifies, the Donald remains not only the front-runner, but the most exciting figure in the race. Moreover, after the New York, New England, mid-Atlantic and California primaries, Trump should be within striking distance of the 1,237 delegates needed for ...
Gene Simmons Fires Back at Ice Cube Over His Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Acceptance Speech

Well that didn't take very long. Just two days after N.W.A was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame where Ice Cube blasted Gene Simmons' claim that the group didn't belong in the institution because they weren't in fact rock and roll, the Kiss bassist has offered a response. "Let me know when @JimiHendrix gets into the hip hop hall of fame" he wrote today on Twitter. "Then youll have a point." Setting aside the fact that a hip-hop hall of fame doesn't exist, the assertion itself is actually baseless. Take a look at the names included in the Rock Hall's very first induction class and you'll find blues master Robert Johnson, ...

President Obama calls libyan intervention biggest mistake of his administration

President Barack Obama told FOX News what he thought was the worst mistake of his presidency on Sunday, saying his failure to adequately plan for the aftermath of the U.S.-supported overthrow of Libyan dictator Muammar Gaddafi in 2011 was "probably" his biggest error. "Probably failing to plan for the day after what I think was the right thing to do in intervening in Libya," the president told Fox's Chris Wallace in response to the inquiry. According to the president, he still believes the U.S. was right to intervene in the conflict. U.S. air strikes, intelligence personnel and logistical support proved crucial to bringing the rebellion against Qaddafi to a ...
Despite Risks, G.O.P. Seeks to Stop Trump Before Convention

When House Speaker Paul D. Ryan released a video laying out his familiar theme that politics should be fought on ideas and issues, the Drudge Report’s headline was: “Paul Ryan launches his first campaign ad.” A dream of some Republicans is that Mr. Ryan will rescue them from a fiasco in the presidential election. That is unlikely. As states assemble delegates for the party convention, there are already demands that no votes be cast for someone who did not run. It would be rational to turn to Gov. John Kasich of Ohio or Mr. Ryan, who might win the election, but neither the season nor the Republican grass roots seem to reward rationality. Prior to the US War Between the ...
